The Investigation Department of the Investigative Committee of Russia (ICR) has completed the investigation of the criminal case involving the former Deputy General Director for the implementation of the state armaments program of the Roscosmos State Corporation, Oleg Frolov.

Also involved in the case are the former General Director for the implementation of the armaments program, Dmitry Filippov, and Mikhail Filippov, director of the Moscow Region LLC "Kobitek". They are charged with large-scale fraud, receiving bribes and legalizing funds (Part 4 of Article 159, Part 6 of Article 290 and Part 4 of Article 174.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation).

The investigation began on December 19, 2023. Initially, the case concerned machinations in the creation of a barocomplex - a technological unit for testing, necessary in aircraft construction and the rocket and space industry.

The investigation believes that Frolov entered into a criminal conspiracy with other defendants in the case. He misled the customer and stole budget funds in the amount of at least 435 million rubles.

In recent months, episodes related to corruption have been added to the investigation, which led to the extension of the investigation period to one and a half years. The specific amounts related to bribes have not yet been reported. However, it is assumed that the accused received kickbacks for the purchase of equipment at inflated prices.

Earlier,www1.ru reported that the court satisfied the claim for 180 million rubles to the manufacturer of Sineva and Sarmat ballistic missiles.
